Your strings probably quit because you surprised them with sudden tuning, try a stealthier approach....

Altenatively, if you mean that your G and D strings sound quieter than the others, try raising the pickup on that side

If it happened all of a sudden, I would question the strings, not the pup height. That is unless it's possible you moved the pup or a screw is loose.

Definitely could be the culprit. Re-solder that wire or take it to a tech.

That is very possible, since you stated this happened all of a sudden. I would take it to the shop and have them look it over for you.
